As part of North Riding County FA’s Health and Wellbeing Strategy, we have committed to funding one person per affiliated club, to enable clubs to appoint a Mental Health Champion with a recognised qualification.

Our Health and Wellbeing Strategy has been introduced with the aim of ensuring football is an accessible health enabler for all. Please click here to find out more.

That health goes beyond physical, with North Riding County FA dedicated to working with our leagues and clubs to support participants’ mental health also.
